The object of this invention is to provide a neat and inexpensive device whereby .a per son may provide a supply offace cream, soap, or other-toilet preparations-in paste form, and retain the same for personal use when traveling andunder all conditions. The in-' Vention seeks to provide a deviceparticularly designed for holding commodities in pastelike form and facilitating the withdrawal of, a portion of the commodity for use without entailing any waste. The invention is illus trated in the accompanying drawing and will be hereinafter fully set forth.

In the drawingi I Figure 1 is a diametrical section of a device embodyingthe invention, I N

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same, 7 Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view, I Fig. 4 is a view partly in elevation and partly in section of a modification, and- Fig. 5 is a detail showing afurther modification of the base. J In carrying out the invention, thereis provi'ded a cylindricalbodyl which is prefer-. ably hollow, as shown, to provide a chamber 2 in which a reserve supply of material may be placed. The closed end. of the body has; externalthreads, as shownat 3, while its openv end is interiorly threaded, as'at 4, and has an enlarged bore whereby to produce a shoul der 5 against which a mirror 6 mayseat. To retain the mirror in place, abase member 7 is threaded into the open endof the-body, thebase shown in Fig. 1 being" a ring having a flange8 at its outer endfadapted tobear against the end of the bodyand thereby limit .the inward movement of the'ring sothatit cannot be causedto exert a crushing impact upon the mirror. The flange also-imparts an attractive finish to the article and facilitates grasping of the base when its withdrawal is desired. A packing strip, indicated at 9,is provided betweenthe base and the mirrorto'further guard against; breakage. Threaded onto the closed end of the'body 1 isa cap; member. 10 which fmay be of any desired 7 length and of the same material as the-body, thecap being interiorly threaded for its full length so that it maybe threaded onto the 19. 9;,- se'ria iuo; 52,730.

same by merelyrotating it in an obvious man-1 i ner; At the center of the closed end of :the cap is formed a very small outlet opening 11 through which the paste-like commodity disposed withinthelcap maybe. discharged." As,

showin-the internal threads 12 of the .cap extend the'full-length thereof except fora short distance 13 at the open end .-'of lthe cap, the

smooth bore 13 facilitating the fitting 0f I J thecap overthe body. The thr'eads Ont-11600; body, however, ,extend only a very; short dis-. tance alongthe s'ameiso that the exposed por-' tion-of the.--body;will besmoothandwi-ll not l detract from itssightliness. *Theendof the Q capx=is slightlyftaperedexternally, as at 14, I

It may," sometimes; be deemed'rdesirable to omit the threaded connection betweenothe capand'the body, in which event a slight y 1 push on the cap will effectdischarge of the I commodity, and it is also feasible to have 7 [1fthe base extend up around thecap to" enclose the same so that the cap will slide into the;
